Everything You Need to Know
When it comes to storing hazardous materials such as fuels or chemicals, safety is going to be your number one priority. One of the most effective storage solutions in these situations is bunded storage. What exactly are our bunded storage solutions, though, and why is it so important to purchase yours from a trusted team like Storage N Stuff? Don’t worry, we are here with all the information that you need!
Understanding Chemical Bunded Storage
Bunded storage refers to a storage solution specifically designed to safely store hazardous liquids, such as oils or chemicals, in drums or IBCs. These units feature an integrated, leak-proof sump at the base, which serves as a containment area to capture any spills or leaks that may occur from the stored containers.
Contrary to the idea of a “container within a container,” bunded storage does not enclose the containers entirely within another container. Instead, the sump sits beneath the storage area and acts as a passive safety feature to help prevent environmental contamination or harm to people and property.
It’s important to note that any spills or leaks should be cleaned up immediately. This helps protect the integrity of the sump and ensures ongoing compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
Our bunded storage is most commonly used for:
- Oils, fuels, and other highly flammable liquids
- Chemicals and other hazardous liquids
- Industrial liquids and detergents
- Pesticides and fertilisers
Why Is Bunded Storage So Important?
The main purpose of bunded storage is the protection of people and the environment. A leak from a container holding dangerous materials can have serious consequences. It can pollute soil and waterways and poses a wide range of health and safety risks. Using bunded storage ensures that you are meeting all of your health and safety obligations, protecting you in the event of any accidents.
Even the strongest containers can fail over time thanks to wear and tear, and bunded storage gives you that extra layer of security. It’s hard to buy peace of mind, but investing in bunded storage goes a long way towards it!
